the history of rainbow color … … No, Japan The legendary show that is also a symbol of “hard rock” in Western history of Western music. The world first public master that rewrites the longest record appears.
That “Symbol of Night” is RAINBOW ‘s first visit to Japan “December 16, 1976: Nippon Budokan (night part)”. In addition to merely being a masterpiece, not only are not only the masterpieces but also the sound board boards such as “ON STAGE” Deluxe Edition (Osaka credits are wrong) and “WHEN EVENING FALLS” “THE END OF RISING”, with countless superb audience recordings recorded It is a known concert. Even in the history of RAINBOW in glory, there is no show that produced such masterpieces and name boards, but this work is the first name released in the world that was born again. Moreover, it is “longest” audience recording.
Its length was amazing. Actually, it is the master who was a secret holder of a name-named speaker representing Japan, but listening with it as usual, I can not cut it even though I’m feeling “It’s about time for tape change …”. All songs and songs are constantly playing, and the show continues seamlessly forever and ever. Of course, there is a tape change also because it is an era pattern analog cassette recording, but it is only one place. It is only 27 seconds to reply from “Starstruck” to “Man On The Silver Mountain”. There was only Ronnie’s Singa Long ‘You’re the man, the man, the man’ that was flowing to the venue there, and Richey’s one picking, one cozy strike has not been missed either. It was the longest record in the history of 120 minutes because I was using tape.
Besides, it is not only long. That sound quality is also amazing. Although this work compensates the scenes etc. of 27 seconds of missing recording and before / after the opening to make the best use of the longest seamless master in history, it has finished as the longest live album of the past , It was “AN EVENING IN DECEMBER (Calm & Storm 010)” that was used to compensate for it (therefore, it is the same sound that it was played first, but before playing “Over The Rainbow” It will change to recording so be relieved). Of course, “AN EVENING IN DECEMBER” is an audience recording of the highest-ranking sound of the past and it is a honorable supernumeric board, but this new excavation master has no incompatibility even if it is connected with that abnormal high quality sound … … Rather, I do not understand the connection point. I can fully receive that wonderful direct, furious, clear sound.
In fact, the sound that goes through this work is intense. Because “AN EVENING IN DECEMBER” is too much super-recording, I’m sure I will declare “I will update the vertex!” But I’m sure there is a thin thing. Dare to say, the beauty of ringing, glossiness is “AN EVENING IN DECEMBER” above. However, in this vivid, the sharp edges are outweighed by this work. The edge further complements clearness. Moreover, this vividness was not produced by mastering. It is the detail that the master cassette itself is breathing in, so it is natural for everything to stand, even if you are standing crisply.
The show drawn with such sound …. let’s stop. “December 16: Nippon Budokan (Night part)” is too famous “legendary show”. In the meantime, I do not need to tell you anything, you know familiar well. But the experience to say is that “experience”. That burning performance is kept flowing without stopping without stopping water. There is no warning heart of “I will soon change the sound” that I felt even though I was consciously or unconscious. Just, Ritchie’s tone, Ronnie’s beautiful voice, Koji’s beat continue to be drunk. This exquisitely creates the feeling of the concert site.
As a matter of fact, this show has experienced the highest sound quality with official Deluxe Edition and Jeezy Tape sound board. In the meantime, there is no meaning to aim for high in the pure audio value sense. However, the feeling of continuity and experiences are different. The breath and reality unique to audiences recording are the highest peaks, and the presence that it lasts (except for 27 seconds) is the one that no one has ever experienced. It can be tasted with the quality which is “AN EVENING IN DECEMBER”.

Even those who existed at the scene of this “legendary night” may have been mixed by the position. This work is one that can taste the sound as close to the best as possible, the longest in the past. Beyond time and space, the audience recording is only when you experience the show. In that sense, it transcends all kinds of past episode, and it is a masterpiece that is thin at the top as regards quality. Of course, this experience must be able to repeat forever and ever. It must be conveyed to future generations. For that purpose permanent preservation press 2CD. It is the world’s first public with the ultimate specification suitable for cultural heritage.

★ It is a high quality sound source that appears completely in the first place. (Master is 120 minutes tape)
